1930s Russell Wright × Chase USA Art Deco Chrome Pitcher

This is one of those pieces that just feels right the second you see it.

A 1930s Russell Wright for Chase USA chrome syrup pitcher, designed during the early days of American modernism when objects were meant to be both useful and beautiful. The shape is simple, sculptural, and intentional — no extra fuss, no decoration for the sake of it.

The polished chrome catches the light in the best way and makes it feel just as good styled on a credenza or open shelf as it does actually being used. It works as a pitcher, a watering vessel, or honestly just as an object you let exist because it elevates the space.

It sits right in that sweet spot between Streamline Moderne and early midcentury, which is why it still feels so current nearly a century later.

Quietly iconic. Design-forward without trying too hard.
